I am very excited to announce a new weekly Q&A session that we will be starting this coming Monday, June 4 at 10:30am ET.

We will be using a technology on Facebook which allows us to present Live.

The format of the weekly presentation will be pretty simple:

The first 3-5 minutes will be a brief overview of a weekly Topic (see below for list of topics)

The remainder of the each weekly session will be a live Q&A open to anyone to ask any Medicare-related question. You will simply just type the question in Facebook during the Live presentation and I will answer your question Live for the group.

Each weekly session is scheduled to go about 15 minutes, but we will certainly extend the session if there is enough quality Q&A in a particular week.

How do I get Medicare to stop taking the PENALTIES that my husband and I have been paying for a few years due to a mix up on the question of my NEVER dropping COVERAGE from my GOVERNMENT job, covering both of us, though NOT wanting Medicare at that time. When we decided to get it, they told us we'd have to pay a penalty. I went to 5 retirement seminars before i retired in 2004 from the US Custom Service and NEVER WAS IT BROUGHT UP that if you DID NOT TAKE Medicare at 65, and the LATER put in for it, that you would pay a PENALTY! Thank you

Hi Peg,

Sorry you are going through this. Here is a good document that explains how you can start the appeal process for the Late Enrollment Penalty - https://www.medicarerights.org/PartB-Enrollment-Toolkit/Equitable-Relief.pdf
